Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of prefabricated skin flap repair, and in particular to the use of engineered exosomes in preparing a product for improving the survival rate of prefabricated skin flaps. Background Art

[0002] A prefabricated flap is a surgical procedure in which tissues such as the aponeurosis, muscle, or omentum, which contain known blood vessels, are transplanted to a specific layer (usually the subcutaneous tissue layer) in an area (or region) that originally lacks known blood vessels. Alternatively, a free skin graft is transplanted onto tissues such as the aponeurosis, muscle, or omentum, which have known vascular bundles. After a period of revascularization, a new axial flap, supplied by known vascular bundles, is formed, which can then be used for secondary surgical repair of the defect with a pedicle or free graft. The advent of prefabricated flaps transcends the limitations of traditional flap selection based on the distribution of known surface blood vessels, broadens the donor area during surgery, and significantly increases the number of flap options. Prefabricated flaps also feature controllable thickness, smoothness, and a large surface area, thus avoiding bulk when repairing delicate areas and resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing result. In recent years, they have become a popular technique for repairing complex head and facial defects.

[0003] While prefabricated flaps possess the aforementioned advantages, they also suffer from a significant drawback: a high rate of partial necrosis after surgery, limiting their widespread clinical application. Inadequate flap revascularization after primary surgery can easily lead to flap necrosis after secondary transplantation. Therefore, improving the survival rate of prefabricated flaps is a crucial area of ​​research in reparative and reconstructive surgery.

[0004] At present, in addition to the use of extended surgical intervals and flap delay surgery, as well as routine perioperative measures such as antispasmodics, warmth preservation, anticoagulation, and microcirculation promotion, there is no reliable means to improve the survival rate of prefabricated flaps. Partial necrosis or even failure of prefabricated flaps remains a difficult problem faced in clinical practice.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0093] Experimental example

[0094] 1. The engineered exosomes in Example 1 and the empty EVs in Comparative Example 1 were dropped onto a copper mesh, then stained with phosphotungstic acid for 30 seconds. The dye was removed by aspiration, and the mesh was washed twice with ultrapure water. The mesh was then photographed under a transmission electron microscope. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown;

[0095] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that:

[0096] Figure 1 The left picture in the middle is empty EV, and the right picture is VEGF-EV. Both have typical cup-shaped structures and smooth double-layer structures, indicating that CNP has no effect on the size and shape of EV.

[0097] 2. The tannic acid hydrogel prepared in Example 2 was freeze-dried for 18 h, then sliced ​​and photographed using a scanning electron microscope. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown;

[0098] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that:

[0099] The surface morphology of the TA-Gel scaffold is a smooth, continuous porous three-dimensional network structure, which is conducive to the loading of VEGF-EV.

[0100] 3. Soak 1 ml of 10% Gel and 10% TA-Gel in 2 ml of PBS solution for 4 hours, then co-culture the PBS and the two soaking solutions with Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the logarithmic growth phase for 8 hours;

[0101] The two bacterial suspensions after treatment were stained with SYTO-9 and PI for live and dead staining, and photographed using a confocal microscope. The photographic results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 As shown;

[0102] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that:

[0103] Both detection methods showed that the solution soaked in TA-Gel could significantly inhibit bacterial growth after incubation with bacteria, indicating that TA-Gel has an antibacterial effect, which can prevent bacterial infection during the revascularization process and accelerate the revascularization process.

[0104] 4. Animal experiments on prefabricated skin flaps:

[0105] Surgical Plan: The rat prefabricated flap model was constructed in two stages. In the first stage, adult Sprague-Dawley rats weighing approximately 280g were obtained. A rectangular flap, approximately 4 x 4.5 cm, was created on the abdomen, extending from the xiphoid process to 1 cm above the external genitalia and to the anterior axillary line on either side. The flap was raised from the superior to the inferior aspect, and the superficial epigastric arteries were ligated on both sides. The femoral artery and vein bundle of the right lower extremity was freed, preserving a small amount of surrounding muscle tissue, and then the branch vessels were ligated. The bundle was then transposed subcutaneously through the groin at the ankle joint to the inner surface of the flap. The vascular bundle was secured to the inner surface of the flap with 6-0 sutures. After hemostasis, the wound was sutured in situ.

[0106] Ten days later, the second stage of surgery was performed. ICG was injected into the tail vein before the surgery. The island flap was then completely freed along the original incision, leaving only the implanted axial vascular bundle as the pedicle. The fluorescence of the flap was then observed using an animal in vivo imaging device. The results were as follows: Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The upper left side of the middle image is the untreated normal rat skin control group;

[0107] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0108] The flap showed a fan-shaped fluorescence distribution centered on the vascular pedicle, indicating that the vascular pedicle was unobstructed and supplied blood to the flap.

[0109] Ten days after surgery, a second-stage surgery was performed. After raising an island flap pedicled with the implanted axial vascular bundle along the original incision, the flap was given different treatments (Control group: 3.6 ml PBS, applied evenly; VEGF-EV group: 3.6 ml PBS containing 1 mg VEGF-EV, applied evenly; TA-Gel group: 3.6 ml TA-Gel, covering the flap position; VEGF-EV@TA-Gel group: 3.6 ml TA-Gel loaded with 1 mg VEGF-EV, covering the flap position; PP@TA-Gel group: 3.6 ml TA-Gel loaded with 1 mg Polypeptide, covering the flap position; VEGF-EV-PP@TA-Gel group: 3.6 ml TA-Gel loaded with 1 mg VEGF-EV and 1 mg Polypeptide, covering the flap position), and then the flap was sutured in situ. The survival of the flap was observed two weeks after surgery.

[0110] Observation results such as Figure 5 The statistical analysis results are shown in Figure 6 As shown by Figure 5 、 Figure 6 It can be seen that:

[0111] The flap survival areas of the first four groups were observed on the 1st, 4th and 7th days after the second stage surgery. It was found that the flap survival area of ​​the VEGF-EV@TA-Gel group was the largest. After statistical analysis, the difference was found to be statistically significant.

[0112] The contracture of the first four groups of wounds was further observed and statistically analyzed. Figure 7 As shown;

[0113] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that:

[0114] The flap in the VEGF-EV@TA-Gel group had only slight contracture, while the first three groups all had severe contracture, and the contracture in the first group was the most severe, and the difference was statistically significant.

[0115] The skin flap tissues of the upper right corner of the six groups of rats were subjected to immunohistochemical detection of vWF, and the vWF content was statistically analyzed.

[0116] Immunohistochemistry results Figure 8 The statistical analysis results are shown in Figure 9 As shown by Figure 8 、 Figure 9 It can be seen that:

[0117] The vWF content in the VEGF-EV@TA-Gel group, Polypeptide@TA-Gel group, and VEGF-EV-PP@TA-Gel group increased to varying degrees, and the vWF content in the VEGF-EV-PP@TA-Gel group was the highest, followed by the VEGF-EV@TA-Gel group and Polypeptide@TA-Gel group. The differences were statistically significant.

[0118] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
